The NFL should cut their losses and settle the pending lawsuits. Then, they should require all current and future players to sign concussion and injury waivers. If the players want to participate in this violent sport and earn the chance at making bazillions of dollars doing it, then they waive their rights to so sue the league for injuries that they know full well in advance might occur. The sue-happy culture in this country is breaking it, everyone wants something for nothing.

Exactly right. People want to blame Goodell, but his is a reaction to who-knows-how-many injury lawsuits, and sad stories he's been presented. We've heard the Ted Johnson's and the Dave Duerson's, but what else does the league know? It must be pretty sobering, if they're doing all that they're doing, including thinking about changing the kickoff rule. I really think people are being short-sighted, in vilifying him.

I am in agreement that his dictatorial control over present league matters is problematice (that he is judge/jury/executioner). But he's not stupid. He knows what the "traditional" NFL fan is going to say about this, and about all the other safety measures he's trying to institute.
